Quantization of Measure in Gravitation

Abstract

Using the Radon–Nikodym theorem concerning the relation between any two measures, as well as the methods employed in loop quantum gravity, it is shown that in gravitation one can quantize any measure which is not even associated with metric. We have considered the simplest case where the proportionality coefficient between two operators of measure (the Radon–Nikodym derivative) is some function. The result is that in the right-hand side of the commutation relations for the measure the fundamental length becomes a variable quantity, and this can lead to smoothing the singularity. The case where the Radon–Nikodym derivative is an operator is also under discussion. Classical and quantum theories in the background of space endowed with quantum measure are under consideration.
